Blindsay 294 Posted February 21 Such a good idea, but it’s like 79° RIGHT NOW. This cannot happen outdoors. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johne9109 208 Posted February 22 It would have to be way more north and at night if they were ever gonna do an outdoor game in Florida. I wanna see it happen, but Lake Okeechobee ain't the place. Great design though. The colors and the imagery all scream Florida 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midwest_surfer 147 Posted February 24 Totally agree. An outdoor game in Florida is not only possible, but inevitable in my opinion, especially if you have the game at night like it should be. The biggest problems I see with it are finding a venue with the right capacity and location. You'd be better off having a game between the Florida teams at a neutral site like Orlando or Daytona to maximize attendance, which doesn't leave too many options. UCF's football field works, and the Daytona Speedway works. The baseball field at Disney World could possibly work, but they'd need to expand seating, and not have a problem with the fact that they aren't hosting the team that's named after a hugely successful movie franchise. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's like 30 minutes from me. Carolina vs Boston and Carolina wear Whalers! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If ESPN gets in on NHL broadcast rights, I think your Disney idea could be a real possibility with ESPN/ABC being under the Disney umbrella, although looking at photos and at the capacity number (7,500), you're right that the number of seats is an issue; ideally you'd want an outdoor game to have bigger capacity than the indoor rinks! A quick Google search brought up Camping World Stadium as the biggest in Orlando (hosts the Citrus Bowl), so as long as it's a Stadium Series and not a Winter Classic, that would probably be the most realistic location. Heck, do a two-game series at the neutral site with each team getting a home game! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heck, do a two-game series at the neutral site with each team getting a home game! I don't see a problem with a Florida Winter Classic. I did jersey concepts for one a while back. I think the Citrus Bowl would be too big though, you want the stadium to fill up and I think they might have a problem doing that. Winter Classics in baseball stadiums have better sight lines than football stadiums, but there's nothing close to Orlando that fits the bill, you'd need something 20,000+ probably. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only said that in regards to Camping World Stadium because of the early January Citrus Bowl scheduling conflict. At another stadium it could absolutely work. Orlando SC's stadium seats 25,500, but it's soccer-specific, and looking at photos, sightlines could be not-great for hockey because the seats don't go very far up. Just checked out your Winter Classic concept from last year, and I remember seeing it before! Love where you ended up with the Panthers jerseys, like most of the other people in that thread. And it looks like we're just rehashing the same stadium conversation that was already had in your thread... Whoops! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMtexan09 164 Posted March 22 It is purely genius! But seriously having a solid ice rink in Florida, especially if it is in Miami or Tampa Bay, they gotta be finding a way to get ice from melting. Maybe if there is actually Iceman around, he probably would keep it cold all day long, haha 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
